Order on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
Feb 02, 2026
TEXT ORDER: On January 15, 2026, petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus which asks this Court to Order his immediate release from custody/detention. See generally ECF No. 2 . The Government responded on January 28, 2026 and argued for dismissal on several grounds, including that the petition fails to satisfy the pleading standards set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a) and lacks any information about when petitioner was most recently detained or how long, cumulatively, he has been detained. ECF No. 8 at 12. After reviewing the petition and response, this Court agrees with the Government. Petitioner failed to include basic information in the petition such as when, why, and how long petitioner has been detained, whether he has requested a bond hearing, and if so, the status of that request or hearing. Counsel has not submitted an amended petition containing any further information despite over two weeks having elapsed since the petition was initially filed. Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED without prejudice. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 2/2/2026. (Urizandi, Nissheneyra)
